Expedition

A very convenient hash for me: I can visit it on my way home from work. I've almost been there before, as one of the better cycling routes around here follows the canal. I won't claim a Déjà vu geohash achievement because the hash is approx 100 meters inside a wooded area I haven't been to before, and I don't have a tracklog or other proof for these cycling tours anyways.

It's a warm day when I leave for the hash. A bit too warm for my taste, since I haven't mentally arrived in summer. I will get used to it. I depart work southbound to Nuremberg, change thrice and arrive relatively quickly at Rotterdamer Straße. After a quick search how to get down to the canal on its eastern side, where the hash is, I arrive on the mixed walking / cycling route I am so used to. Walking along the canal takes longer than I am used to, since I am usually here by bike. And there is no shade on that path, so the sun burns down mercilessly. I am relieved once I can enter the small wooded area to cool down a bit.

The hash does take some time to locate precisely. I am not in a rush, so I take the time (and my compass) to get a very precise reading. That might be the closest reading I've ever had, at less than 20cm. Satisfied, I walk back to the bus stop to get home
